Word of caution
Doesn’t replace the actual
device testing, just
minimizes the effort spent.
Responsive web design (RWD) is an approach to web design aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing experience—easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide range of devices (from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones). Give google example where it adapts to screen size and how the gmail link etc disappaears into navigation menu with mobile screen size
Testing becomes a challenge with lot of devices to certify
Galen Specs is the language with which you define how the page should look like for different devices. The language is quite advanced and allows you to express complete layout of your website with minimal text.
